Interview
It was in a relaxed environment, at times it felt like a conversation, it was very in depth though and quite long. Initial interview with a team leader, followed by a brief conversation with the deputy manager.

Interview
I recently went through the interview process with IKEA in New Zealand. I relocated from Europe, I know the product range well, have sales experience, and have assembled many IKEA furniture pieces throughout my life.
The process included an initial online screening and an on-site group interview.
The group interview started with the manager asking who had ever been to an IKEA store, only about five people raised their hands. We were then shown a presentation, but the manager mixed up the store opening date, didn't finish it, and couldn’t recall all the company values. This created a somewhat disorganised impression.
The group exercise also felt unusual, as it didn’t really fit a group format; it was more individual, with almost nothing to discuss collectively.
At the end, each of us had a short one-on-one interview. We were told in advance that they had only 15 minutes per person. The manager interrupted me several times and seemed to be in a hurry, which made the experience more stressful.
